Yeah there are some embedded images now. But thats no problem! (You mean firefox? or still using fb?)

It will always be firebird in my heart :shifty:

But no, before the forum switch, I never saw a single ad here (although I allowed them to load using Adblock). Now, there's annoying TEXT ads with bright backgrounds that show up every now and then. I'll take a screenie the next time I see one.

All you people who did the hosts file change--how did you figure out the new IP? I could visit Neowin fine using the old DNS entry from work, but when I came home, it went kaput and I wasn't smart enough to have written down the IP from work.

I used Netcraft to find the IP because I knew my problem was a DNS issue and they would still have an IP address, then I typed the IP they listed in. The story on the front page said if you're reading this you are still accessing the old server, so I obviously knew the listed IP was the old one.

I clicked the story to read the comments and people posted the new server's IP in there.

Good old-fashioned detective work.

LOL just wait till all the others get here you 2 will not be yaying long with all the " where did my post go?" threads. :laugh:

Yeah, I've to the new DNS on my main pc and the old DNS (both achieved with hosts file mod) and I can see that a lot of people are making loads of posts on the old forum. Be prepared for the backlash once everyone is switched over :wacko:
